The car shared by James Calado and Alessandro Pier Guidi was thrown out for an infraction relating to its ride height, which was found to be under the 50mm minimum, handing victory the #92 Porsche of Kevin Estre and Michael Christensen.

Following December's Bahrain WEC round, where Calado and Pier Guidi finished fourth in the GTE Pro division, the pair lie sixth out of six crews in the class points on 43 points.

Should their win be reinstated, it would promote them to second behind championship-leading Aston Martin pairing Nicki Thiim and Marco Sorensen.
